The fundamental teachings of this congregation are reflected in the following statements of faith. Our purpose in stating these basic beliefs is to establish a doctrinal foundation for those choosing to affiliate with us.<\/p>

We believe in the inspiration of the Holy Bible, which is comprised of the 66 books of the Old & New Testaments as originally given, not including the Apocrypha. The
Scriptures are without error and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16, I Corinthians 2:13, II Peter 1:21).<\/p>

We believe in the Eternal God, who has revealed Himself as One God existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew
28:19, II Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2, John 14:26). We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of
the Virgin Mary, totally God and totally Man (Luke 1:26\u201035, John 1:14\u201018, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, Phil. 2:6, Rom. 9:5, Col. 2:9).<\/p>

We believe the Lord Jesus Christ gave His life on the cross as a sacrifice for our sin, was buried, and rose again bodily the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples (I Corinthians 15:1\u20104, Romans 4:25).<\/p>

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and complete work of Jesus on the Cross by which we obtain total forgiveness of sin. (Ephesians 2:8\u20109, Hebrews 9:12, 22, Romans 5:11).<\/p>

We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit as recorded throughout the New Testament, including the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit in the church (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 6:19,12,14).<\/p>

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience, at or subsequent to salvation, empowering believers as witnesses of Christ (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4\u20105, 2:1\u20104, 8:14\u201017, 10:44\u201046).<\/p>

We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24, 3:16), and eternal punishment and separation from God for unbelievers (Mark 9:43\u201048, II Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation
20:10\u201015).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
